New images reveal Panamera, Panamera S, and Panamera 4S models

A broken media embargo has led to the leak of several official images of the Porsche Panamera, along with apparently production specifications accompanying the shots. The upcoming Panamera is one of the most anticipated and polarizing models in Porsche's history, and these latest images reveals an attractive four-door sports car with the Stuttgart firm’s trademark styling cues.

Full details should be forthcoming within the next couple of days, but a few early details have been leaked along with the images.

The Panamera will officially start production in April next year and will make its world debut one month earlier at the Geneva Motor Show. Porsche will be able to build up to 26,000 units per year but the actual production levels will be kept at just 20,000. It will be a large car, stretching almost five meters (16.3 feet) long, two meters wide (6.3 feet) and weighing in at around 1,800kg. At launch, there will be three engine choices – a 3.6L V6 with 300hp in the base Panamera, a 4.8L V8 with 405hp in the Panamera S, and a 4.8L Turbo model with approximately 500hp called the Panamera Turbo.

Electric air suspension will ensure the ride is smooth or firm when required, and performance is not being ignored with the inclusion of a LSD, a retractable rear-spoiler and an AWD system on some models. The latest PDK dual-clutch system will also be used to reduce fuel consumption and improve shift times for the new model.

Base prices in Europe will begin at €80,000 ($100,000) for the V6 RWD model and go up to €125,000 ($156,000) for the Turbo AWD variant (prices in the U.S. tend to be lower than they are in Europe).

It's so ugly.

Someone needs to tell Porsche that car companies are allowed to design cars that don't look 100% exactly like every car they've ever made, EVER.

It's ridiculous to take the front end of a Porsche 911 and then stamp it on everything from sedans to SUVs.

Porsche, make some angular head lamps, get rid of the rounded stuff, do something new and exciting, controversial even. Or... Just fire your entire design department and buy a bunch of tracing paper.

Interestingly, the front end looks a lot like the C6 Corvette at certain angles.

God damn you're fucking retarded.

It looks like the front end of C6 Corvette, nothing more. I am not making any politically charged accusations against Porsche. I don't give a shit. I just see a lot of Vette in that front end.

Well you could have said a lot of different vehicles such as the many that influenced the C6's front end. I'm sure that you could name a few....

At first I was totally on that YUCK bandwagon... but I am giving this car a little more thought and its slowly growing on me. I am sure it will sell well with all of those porsche fanatics, but I really doubt this will be a lot of peoples first porsche, which is what I think they might have been hoping for.

I agree that porsche has been doing the same look for a long time now... but then again, thats their look. It does change slightly every few years but thats their look and they are sticking to it. People keep buying them, why change them? I think I read somewhere that porsche is one of the most profitable car companies... I really doubt that their design team wants to have any responsibility for changing that. As far as them changing things up... wasn't there an article a while back where they were thinking of bringing out a 914 thats not a boxster? Anway... I think the panarama is pretty cool.

I bet it looks better in person. It looks fat!
It needs a luggage rack to complete that indestructable, drive through the an unpaved road look.

They should put that integrated led turn signal like in the 911 turbo.
